FEATURED ISSUE

Warner’s sombr, who turned 20 shortly before this issue went to press, is arguably the new-artist story of the year. His '“back to friends” hit #1 on Spotify global and is hovering in the U.S. Top 5 as well. His newer track “undressed” is also streaming superbly.

The Grammy buzz surrounding this rookie is significant as it looks like he is a lock for a BNA nom at the very least. All in all, sombr has little reason to be "somber” except, perhaps his appearance on the cover of this sad rag.
